Chapter 107 - Dress Fitting

When Selene went to school, that was the time Eros appeared to her. She had been missing him since he was always nowhere these past few days.

"Hey, Eros!!! My angel!" Selene trapped Eros in her arms, hugging him tightly.

"Where have you been? I missed you so much! I thought you already abandoned me." 

She put on a pitiful expression. Eros could only scratch his head. He couldn't tell her that he was with her every day in his persona, Gabriel.

"Eh, don't worry, I still got your back. I'm just around, watching over you," Eros reassured her.

Selene pouted as she remembered someone. "My angel, someone is bullying me. Can you protect me from him?"

"Eh? Who dares bully you?" Eros asked her. He didn't see anyone bullying Selene.

"It's the guy whom you recommended to me! Gabriel… he bullied me this morning." Selene complained to Eros.

Eros: "..."

'Eh, that's me. I teased her… but it's not bullying.'

Eros glanced at Selene with amusement. "What kind of bullying did he do to you?"

Selene bit her lower lip. She didn't know whether to tell Eros or not. She was so embarrassed. But Eros was her cupid so there's nothing wrong if she would tell him some secrets.

"Promise me that you won't tell anyone… and you will not scold me."

Eros bobbed his head frantically, reassuring Selene. He was so eager to know what kind of bullying he did to her. He grabbed this opportunity to know her thoughts about Gabriel since she was complaining to him.

Selene exhaled deeply before telling Eros what happened between Gabriel and her.

"I kissed Gabriel last night… Then he started teasing me. I couldn't stand his shamelessness! He is very narcissistic! I was not in my right mind last night because of my fever… I thought I was just dreaming… but it turned out it's REAL." 

Selene lamented to him. She kept on pouting and biting her lips. Eros couldn't help but be distracted by her actions.

'Stop biting your lips, Selene,' He mumbled to himself.

"I gave him my first kiss," Selene added, snapping Eros back to the present. Moments ago, he was lost in a trance while looking at Selene's lips.

"It's alright. Don't feel guilty, Selene. Besides, Renz also gave his first kiss to another woman. Now the two of you are even," Eros said, consoling Selene.

"And about Gabriel's shamelessness and narcissistic side… Uhmm, don't you find him cute? Maybe he is just acting like that to cheer you up. I don't think it's bullying, Selene" Eros wanted to justify and defend himself.

Selene frowned when she heard that. "Why are you always defending him? You should punish him instead. Don't take his side, my angel! You should believe me. He is just a big bully."

Eros fell silent for a moment. Then he gazed at her with an indescribable expression on his cute and adorable face.

Suddenly, Eros became serious and asked Selene something that caught her off guard.

"Do you hate Gabriel, Selene? Did you regret kissing him?"

Eros's blue eyes never left her brown eyes. He was staring at her intently, anticipating her response.

Selene was at a loss for words. She was trying to figure out what she felt towards Gabriel.

'Do I hate him? Of course not. He annoys me sometimes but I don't hate him. He has been good to me, always helping me when I need him.'

'Did I regret kissing him? I know it's wrong but… I feel something I can't even describe. I admit that I feel sorry for Renz and I am so embarrassed… but I don't think I regret it. I am not supposed to feel this way, right? But I can't help it.'

Selene's silence was slowly killing Eros. He wanted to know her answer but she remained silent. He couldn't wait to know her thoughts.

"Come on, Selene. You are killing me with the suspense," Eros urged her to speak.

"No," Selene simply answered him with one word.

"Eh no? No, you don't hate him or No, you don't regret kissing him?" Eros probed.

However, Selene was not able to answer anymore since Renz arrived.

"Selene! Did you wait for me that long? Sorry, I got stuck in the traffic," Renz said, interrupting Eros and Selene.

He came to fetch Selene. They would be coming to Samantha's shop for a dress fitting. Eros heaved a frustrated sigh since he didn't get a clear answer from Selene.

'You ruined the moment, Renz. You should have been stuck in the traffic for hours,' Eros mumbled, feeling annoyed.

Selene, on the other hand, greeted Renz with a bright smile.

"No need to apologize. I understand. You just came on time. Let's go now?"

Renz smiled back at Selene before nodding his head. He extended his arm to Selene. She gladly accepted it. Renz and Selene walked toward the parking lot of the campus with their entangled hands.

Eros followed them. Feeling a little bit jealous, Eros moved to Selene's left side, also holding her other hand. Selene glanced at her little cupid and at their entangled hands. Dejavu.

She smiled inwardly as she recalled the night of Arthur's Birthday Party. Both Eros and Renz were holding her hands at that time.

'Hmm, these two men completed my day. I have my handsome fiancee on my right side while I have my cute and adorable angel on my left side.'

The three of them just got separated when they entered Renz's car. Eros had no choice but to sit at the back while Renz and Selene were on the front.

Twenty minutes later, they reached their destination. Mr. M saw Selene and Renz coming inside the building when he left Samantha's office.

A sinister smile appeared on his face as he watched Selene and Renz secretly. He chose not to meet them today. For him, it's not yet the right time to show himself to them.

The moment they entered Samantha's office, Mr. M had decided to leave the building. He also contacted Micaela. He needed to meet her and finalized their plan and their next moves.

*****

Samantha had just done fixing herself. She was glad that Mr. M already left. She couldn't concentrate on her work when he was around. He kept on distracting her.

He had just left her office when Samantha's assistant knocked on her door, informing her that Selene and Renz already arrived.

Samantha opened the door excitedly and greeted her friends. She hugged Selene and Renz upon meeting them at the door.

"Are you ready for today?" Samantha asked them cheerfully.

Both Renz and Selene nodded their heads as a response.

"Oops, but Renz is not allowed to see you. You know… it is bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding ceremony."

Selene and Renz exchanged glances with one another. Both of them wanted to see each other while wearing their wedding clothes.

"Hey, don't give me such faces. Bear it for now. You will still see each other at the church during your wedding. For now, Renz is not allowed in this room. My assistant will guide you to the other room. Your wedding suit is already there." Samantha separated Renz and Selene as she pushed Renz out of her office.

"You are so mean to me, Samantha. Can't I just take a peek at my fiancee's wedding dress?"

Samantha shook her head. "No! Can't you understand that simple word, Renz Chuo?"

"Alright! Alright! I will leave now. Take care of Selene," Renz said before turning around to leave. He obediently followed Samantha's assistant.

Selene could only giggle watching Samantha scolding Renz. She was so strict. Samantha faced her with eyes filled with excitement.

"Come! Let's see your wedding dress. I hope you will like it!"

"Yes! I wanna see it. I'm so excited!" Selene responded enthusiastically.

Aside from Selene, Renz, and Samantha, Eros was also eager to see Selene in her wedding dress.

Samantha guided Selene into a large fitting room where her wedding gown was. Eros stayed behind. He would just enter the room once Selene was done wearing it.

Selene's eyes sparkled with delight upon seeing the elegant beautiful wedding gown at the center of the room.

"Oh my gosh! This is so beautiful." Selene gasped in amusement.

"Come on, Try it on dear. Let's see if it will fit. I will help you out."

Selene started to take off her uniform as Samantha helped her with her wedding gown.

After a few minutes, Eros entered the room when he heard Samantha's elated voice. 

"Oh my God, Selene! It fits you well. I'm so happy. You look so stunning! Renz would become crazy over you once he sees you in this wedding dress! Wow, he is so lucky to have the most beautiful bride!" Samantha spoke spontaneously, praising and admiring Selene.

Eros stood frozen in his spot upon seeing Selene in her white dress. At that certain moment, Eros had the urge to bring her to the church and marry her right away.

'Oh my, Selene, can I just make you my wife?'
